I've been wearing a Utilikilt off and on for the last year or so, and haven't directly gotten any NEGATIVE responses (but a few "what the &^$# is THAT" looks, as I'd expected), but I've been getting more and more "Cool. Where can I get one of those?"-type questions lately. Over the last few weeks, I've had one guy ask me directly where to buy one, another guy asked me what it feels like to wear ("like shorts with air-conditioning" :-) ), and just today I had two compliments out of the blue. I went to the hospital to have my knee looked at (my olive Mocker seemed like a reasonable choice for ease of access), and while i was walking in, someone looked at me and said with a smile "It takes a REAL man to wear something like that." Afterwards, I went to the mall to pick up a couple of CDs, and the clerk looked at me when I walked in and said "Alright, man, that looks bad-***." The clan is growing. :-)
